@nickashley: On the Wall Street image, how did you get that selective focus without a Tilt-Shift lens?

That just bit edge blur in PS as so busy all people would been distracting in the image, lens is great as so light and in New York the wide is just amazing what you can get in. I'd love tilt shift lens for things like this to get a nice slice of selective focus.

It is sharp lens in all stuff i've done with it mostly wide stuff.

Ah, makes sense. I thought it might be some PS work. Sounds like not a whole lot

It was a 5 minute Lightroom processing job, I pretty much nailed it in camera, after fiddling with the CPL to get the dreamy look I was after. If I remember correctly cropping the image took the most amount of time in Lightroom. I tend to process things instinctively.

Since using a CPL, the softness of the lens seems to have reduced somewhat. Either that or I'm getting the hang of using the lens. It's got a sweet spot like most lenses.

Had a go at some long exposure Photography last night at an annual fair (St Giles Fair, it's been around since the 1600's). I don't think I've done too badly, given this is my first time at trying this technique. Learning by the seat of my pants again. I used a range of f numbers and shutter speeds (anywhere from 2.5 seconds to 30 seconds).
